What Style of Dance is Physie?
The syllabus which is updated annually is performed to modern music and comprises of standing and floor exercises, aerobic warm-ups, basic ballet, and modern jazz dance. Our choreography is age-appropriate and designed to teach the relationship of music to movement, rhythm, co-ordination, balance, and musical interpretation. The Physical Culture year culminates in a series of friendly competitions for both teams and individuals. These are not compulsory, but they do help to foster a club spirit, a sense of belonging, and club loyalty.
